Ravin' with my Rayven

Hello there!

Today I would like to update you a little on another one of my current projects.

Yes, the Alpha Meson Blaster will happen. No, I don't know when it will be finished cause I have been too occupied by having a life to make it to a hardware store during waking hours, and Wal-mart doesn't carry what I need.

My current project comes in light of a joyous occasion in which I found a Nerf Rayven CS-18 at my local Target store, and found out it wasn't worth the money to just turn it around on eBay for the measly $10 profit i might get.

So I am tearing it down, removing some of the locks (cause I know you kids love it) and painting it with all the badassery my genius can come up with. (A.K.A. probably another steam punk paintjob, but they're awesome like that and you know it!)

Here's a few pics of my progress so far.

How many people do you know that will go to ridiculous extents, tearing down the gun, taping off parts, etc... for the sake of a paint job? Well you know of one now. Why do I do this? Because, I am committed to doing the best paint jobs I can, both inside and out! I made the mistake of painting my first Recon on the outside only, and you could see all the nasty orange in the clip area because I was inexperienced. Well, that's not gonna happen, especially on a gun such as this.

Look for updates here or on my deviantart and be sure to keep watching as I will be posting up the eBay auction once it is finished. You know you want it, so keep in touch.

That is all, and now I go back to the thing called life as I wait for the weather to warm up so I can spray my gun.

Looking forward to your work on the Rayven! Although I'm not quite sure how a Steampunk look will lend itself to such a "tacticool" looking blaster, your paintjobs are impressive regardless. I'm sure it'll turn out fine.
